126. What to Do When Your Brain Gets Hij...

Jeremy Lipkowitz
About this episode

In this episode, I discuss the internal battle between the rational and survival parts of the brain, especially in the context of porn addiction. I introduce a science-backed technique to intercept amygdala hijacks, emphasize the power of labeling emotions to regain control, and share my personal journey. Learn the importance of mindfulness and practical strategies to shift control back to the prefrontal cortex for better decision-making.
